...I'm lazy too, so I've also used MSDNIntegrator to get doxygen generated
docs into MSDN.

Mine works fine - and the above illustrates the point or concern: Getting
MSDN looks may spin off 'funny' errors in doxygen, and that does not
convince anybody - it just ruins a good tool, even for those *not* living in
the M$-world.
I *do* program on Windows and live in that world, but I don't need it to
look like Microsoft if it dosn'e serve a distint purpose ?! - likewise we
use make-systems and not 'F7' from DevStudio, because it make us happy, so
if '..to convince..' is the *only* reason for MSDN-looks, I see a buggy
future for doxygen with little to gain otherwise (no new features of
doxygen).

My primary focus is the documentation of the source and one's
develop-environment - *not* the looks of the font-size !! (go on - flame me
;-)
